Huge day for Tech women
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I drove up to Greensboro today for the ACC women’s basketball tournament, which has not been a fun place for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets have won more than one game in the tournament only once in 28 years, in 1992. So nobody should have been surprised when Tech’s flight here on Tuesday was canceled and the team ended up traveling by bus.
But Tech really doesn’t have to win two games here this week. One ought to be enough. A victory on Thursday over last-place Miami ought to clinch an at-large NCAA tournament berth, and that would make history because it would put Tech in the tourney in back-to-back seasons for the first time.
The Yellow Jackets split with the Hurricanes during the regular season. Tech coach MaChelle Joseph said her team was excited about the chance to avenge the loss at Miami, which RPI-wise at least is by far the worst of the team’s eight losses this season.
I think Tech will win. You can watch it on FSN at 11 a.m., if you aren’t stuck at a job without cable TV.
